Roy Skillicorn is elated that Tim Abshire has come aboard. “Tim’s ability to generate stories that give rise to everything from a smile to riotous laugh-out-loud humor, combined with his jovial, collaborative disposition, and his commitment to excellence is exactly what I was seeking for SEED. What’s more, his work now expands us into the humor genre, which has always been an integral part of my personal brand, ” says Skillicorn.

Tim adds “The first time I met Roy I was blown away. Roy’s superpower is the ability to effortlessly light up a room, but his real talent is sharing that light and making everyone else shine.”

Roy and Tim developed a strong personal bond while working together at Backyard Productions, a company Skillicorn founded. It was there that they developed a successful business relationship that proved highly prosperous and congenial.

Tim is known as the quintessential actors’ director. The innocence and honesty he captures from an actor’s performance, combined with his exquisite timing, allows the resulting humor to be globally relatable, yet specifically fine-tuned and tailored to the client’s demographic needs.

“His strength as a writer enables him to fully articulate his vision in treatments, maintaining an instinctive understanding of the essential goals of a project” adds Seed’s Head of Sales, Jessica Rae Connell. “He’s quick and decisive on set, providing an environment, rich in spontaneity and passion. His timing often relies on hanging on to an engaging awkward pause in the action to catch the viewing audience off guard fostering a hilarious response.”

Traveling the world to hone his craft, Tim has created and directed content for numerous blue chip brands, including Google, Jeep, ESPN, Walmart, PlayStation, Febreze, Volkswagen, Coca Cola and jetBlue, with top agencies domestically and internationally, such as Grey Worldwide, Wieden & Kennedy, Ogilvy & Mather, David&Goliath, and Leo Burnett.
